The Benjamin Franklin Classical Charter Public School is thrilled to announce middle school achievements this month in the fields of Science, Technology and Engineering. The mission of BFCCPS, includes a classical education whereby students are grounded in the fundamental subjects of literature, history, mathematics, science, language, music and the arts in order to understand culture and enable active participation in it.

The students who participated in this statewide expo created a tri-fold board presentation and produced a functioning app on MIT App Inventor. Brainrot Dictionary was made by Aisiri Praveen, Lara Liedke, and Ella Phul. Trivia Verse was made by Avery Ivins, Emily Annantuonio, Briana Bastos, and Haley Berthelette. Cow Clicker was made by Nate Bjorkman, Arnav Garg, Max Primpas, and Jeremy Sanchez.
They were then introduced to many industry experts who asked questions about the creation of their apps along with suggestions for how to improve their apps in the future. It was a wonderful event and the students selected should be so proud of their hard work. Thank you to Jessica Kelleher our STEAM Teacher and Grades 6-8 Librarian for supporting this initiative and chaperoning the trip to the TRACK at New Balance.
